About this yacht
Heating
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups. Lady Liberty's five-cabin layout and 10-berth capacity make her perfect for family reunions or friend groups chartering together, you'll find the space and privacy that smaller boats simply can't offer.

Well-equipped and comfortable. This 2003 Bavaria 49 comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar and chart plotter for confident navigation, heating for shoulder-season sailing, and a swimming platform for those Mediterranean moments. The teak cockpit and bimini top signal a boat that's been maintained with care.

Solid value proposition. At this size and cabin count, Lady Liberty represents reasonable value, you're spreading costs across more people, and the kit list suggests no surprises waiting in the cabin. The modest €2,000 deposit is refreshingly straightforward.

One practical note: She's a 2003 build, so while clearly well-loved, systems like the radar and plotter may lack the slick interfaces of newer boats, nothing broken, just a slightly older feel. If your group values cutting-edge tech, that's worth factoring in, though it won't affect sailing performance one bit.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. LADY LIBERTY is operated by Croatia Sailing Charter.

Sv. Katarina, Ul. Vallelunga 90

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Polesana in Pula sits at the northern gateway to the Adriatic, positioning you well for week-one cruising through the Istrian Peninsula and down towards the central Dalmatian islands. Light northeasterly winds typically prevail in summer, making the sail south to Rovinj, Vrsar, and the Pakleni Islands straightforward, with plenty of sheltered anchorages and working fishing villages to explore. The marina itself offers good facilities and a calm home base before you venture into deeper cruising grounds.

Frequently asked questions
Can LADY LIBERTY be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter LADY LIBERTY bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter LADY LIBERTY?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
